What will Jeremy Hunt as chancellor mean for the NHS?

The Independent  

Of all the positions in cabinet, health secretary is the one most aspiring politicians view as the least attractive. Hunt did little to push for a long-term workforce plan as health secretary, but this could change now he is chancellor. The only other matter as momentous as that of a workforce plan is the question of how, as chancellor, he tackles the newly integrated health and social care systems. Some of the funding needed to integrate health and social care effectively, as well as publish a workforce plan, was in place. Don’t expect “compassionate conservatism” to be evident in Hunt’s approach to health and social care.
